Let's go Jeepin!

Another weekend has come and gone here in Washington and we weren't about to let it go by without having another fun family outing!  George and Linda were kind enough to offer us a day out in their jeep for a few hours.

We took a ride over to Lake Washington and cruised around Mercer Island; it was fun to admire some of the fancy homes and pretty scenery, there were also a ton of cyclists on the island and it made us think of Grandma and Grandpa Johnson!  While we were on the island we came across a nice little beach, unfortunately we didn't have our swimsuits and we most definitely didn't want Cooper to experience his first sunburn.  So we spent most of our time in the shade and let Cooper experience feeling the sand between his toes for the first time which he seemed to really enjoy!  It was the first day this summer that really had nice weather so we were quick to take the top off the jeep and get some rays!

After circling the island and enjoying the scenery we jumped on I-90 for a brief stint and drove around the temple grounds; then on our way back we decided to cruise around down town Seattle which was a lot of fun especially with the top off.  We tried to avoid the freeway as much as we could as Aubrey's hair was flying violently in the wind and the visor on Cooper's car seat wanted to fly away.  Cooper didn't seem to mind however because he slept most of the time.  Aubrey had a great time with the camera while we were driving around Seattle, I think she secretly wants to be a photographer.  Enjoy the pictures from this weekends family outing!

Before the day was done we could tell that our drool covered cooper had just about enough of sitting in his car seat so after feeding him his bottle we decided to let him take a brake in the back of the car before we headed home.  He was sitting up so well that it almost looked as if he could ride all the way home that way!
